I would take the responsibility starting and maintaining the actual room, user permissions/ops, channel protection, etc. - But I feel THE most IMPORTANT part of getting it started would be adding a link on the home page so users would know that this new feature is now available. Also, creating a way for users to join the chat-room directly from the home page (like a java applet, or something of the sort) is also needed. I'm unsure how to completely do this, plus I don't have the access to do this on my own. So, I would need some help from the website admin to make this happen.
But like I said before, as far as the actual chat-room, I can take full responsibility maintaining daily operations, and creating accounts for all the admins here so that they are admins in the chat-room also.
I personally feel that having a chat-room is essential to getting to know the people on this beautiful site and creating better connections and relationship with us few like-minded people.

Can we at least get a discussion going on this topic, it's been a long time since I brought up this idea and I feel like I made no progress in getting it done. I want to fix that
